Bug 9017 – Weather2.css incorrectly treated as JavaScript file @ www.live.com

• Component: Page Loading
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Geoffrey Garen]

1. Navigate to www.live.com
2. --> JS Console: SyntaxError: Parse error for Weather2.css

gdb confirms that the file is treated as a CachedScript instead of a CachedCSSStyleSheet.

[Geoffrey Garen]

Strangely, it looks like the JS code creates a script element to load the CSS file:

URL: "http://www.live.com/1.0.7.122/gadgets/Weather/Weather2.css"

(gdb) p this->Node::toString(exec).ascii()
$44 = 0x138d9c00 "\n{\n  el = document.createElement(\"script\");\n  el.onreadystatechange = doCallback;\n  el.src = o.url;\n  if (!Web.Browser.isIE())\n    {\n      el.readyState = \"loaded\";\n      doCallback();\n    }\n}"

So the question is, why does the JS code take this path in Safari but not FF? Or does FF just know that CSS is CSS, even if it's loaded into a script element? (Seems unlikely.)

Anders mentioned on IRC that the script gets confused because we lack support for namespace attributes.

This patch makes us match Firefox in terms of how getAttribute/setAttribute etc work with attributes that have prefixes
